** Book III. [[spoiler: Mirana undoes Invoker's experiment with his acceptance of the fact that [[YouCantFightFate Filomena will always die from the rot afflicting her from youth.]] However, this means reverting back to her original reality, and everyone that has died before this moment will stay dead, which now includes Davion, who had sacrificed himself in the battle of Foulfell, killing Terrorblade and stopping his ultimate plan; it also meant saying goodbye to Marci once more. However, with Fymryn now taking her place as Mene and Mirana ascending to godhood and bearing her and Davion's child, the promise of making a new world in the wake of the battle of Foulfell sparks some hope. And, [[AmbiguousSituation somehow]], Filomena seems to be alive and cured.]]

* FantasticRacism: Clearly there's mistrust and downright hatred between humans and elves. And not without cause, since both humans and elves do some pretty awful things to each other during the course of the series.

* LesserOfTwoEvils: In the battle between Slyrak and Terrorblade, Davion decided to help Slyrak despite being a DragonKnight because he knew Terrorblade was a much bigger threat.
